Shazam is a name that has been used by Captain Marveland

other members of the Marvel Family. The name originally


belonged to an ancient wizard, who lived in the Rock of
Eternity and guarded the Seven Deadly Sins. This wizard
bestowed powers on the child Billy Batson. Batson simply had to
speak the wizard's name, and he would transform into the adult
Captain Marvel. Later on, Billy Batson began using the name
Shazam as his alias instead of Captain Marvel. Shazam was
created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck, first appearing in
the Fawcett Comics publication Whiz Comics #2. (1940)
